FAQs
What material is the Armillary and Column made from?
It is made from reconstituted stone, also known as concrete, which is durable and suitable for outdoor use.
Can this ornament be left outside all year round?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use in all seasons. However, for extreme cold, covering it may help preserve its finish.
How heavy is the Armillary and Column?
The product weighs approximately 70 kg, so careful handling and at least two people are recommended for moving it.
What are the dimensions of the product?
The dimensions are: Column Height: 80 cm, Total Height: 120 cm, Width: 46 cm, Depth: 46 cm.
Does the antique stone finish require special maintenance?
No special maintenance is required. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient. The finish is designed to complement its classical aesthetic.
Is this product manufactured in the UK?
Yes, it is UK manufactured using traditional craftsmanship.
Can this be used to display anything on top?
While designed as a decorative piece, the top of the column could potentially support a lightweight, stable decorative item if desired, provided it does not compromise stability.
Troubleshooting
Ornament feels unstable
Ensure the surface it is placed on is perfectly level and firm. If on grass, compact the soil beneath the base. For persistent instability, consider using shims or placing it on a dedicated plinth.
Appearance of moss or algae (outdoors)
Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush and clean water. For stubborn spots, a mild, stone-safe cleaner may be used sparingly, followed by rinsing.
Minor chips or damage during handling
For very minor chips, a stone repair compound or appropriate filler can be used, matching the colour as closely as possible. Larger damage may be more difficult to repair seamlessly.
